Description
What is Tirzepatide ?
It is a medication designed to help lower blood sugar and support weight loss. It works by imitating natural hormones in your body that help control blood sugar and reduce appetite. It’s mainly used for managing type 2 diabetes and is being studied for weight management as well.
Benefits
- Helps Lower Blood Sugar: Tirzepatide helps control blood sugar levels, which is especially useful for people with type 2 diabetes.
- Supports Weight Loss: By reducing appetite, it can help people eat less and lose weight over time.
- Potential Heart Health Benefits: Early studies indicate that it may also improve cardiovascular health by reducing the risk of heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
Usage
Tirzepatide is administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection (under the skin). It acts as both a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, which means it increases insulin release, reduces glucagon production, slows down stomach emptying, and enhances the feeling of fullness.
